I found Translate Fast Ltd on the internet and received excellent service from this translation company. I urgently needed a certified translation from French into English of two repeat prescriptions for my doctor here in the UK. Translate Fast Ltd returned the certified English versions of the prescriptions very quickly both by email and 1st class Royal Mail and the documents were in perfect order enabling me to collect my medication. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Translate Fast Ltd and will no doubt use them again in the future. More...

I am quite happy with the professional service I have received from this certified translation company. Once I contacted them by email, they quickly responded with all the information needed. A soft copy of the translated document is offered free of charge. I received the soft copy in three working days after my order was placed, exactly as promised. I also received the hard copy in just a few days after that, and I was really pleased with the high-quality and precise translation of my document. Excellent service, highly recommended! More...

I was searching online for a translation company that could help me with Copia Simple, Spanish deeds for a house. I needed translation from Spanish to English. I was contacted the same day to my surprise. The service was impeccable, I cannot fault them, Within four days I had my translation in digital form and within seven days I had a hard copy through the post. This document was extremely urgent, and I really cannot thank you enough, for your reassurance, your professional service and going that extra mile. Thank you Simon 😊 More...

What inspired you to start your own business?
Translate Fast was founded by Simon Poplawski, a time-served court interpreter and Chartered Linguist with a background working for the Metropolitan Police.
In 2017, Simon decided to create a translations agency specialising in urgent translations, incorporating the qualities that mattered most to him personally.
Why should our clients choose you?
We never cut corners and we use properly vetted, accredited and experienced linguists with a view to building long-term relationships with our valued clients. We want Translate Fast customers to remain at the centre of our activities, and everything we do is built around giving our clients the best possible customer experience.
Rather than taking the approach that any problems can be solved later, our quality assurance checks mean we can deliver accurate results first time, every time. Attention to detail underpins our mission to deliver the best service in the business.
Business Translations
In today’s always-on business environment, accuracy and speed are a must. If you’re in business and communicating with suppliers and clients overseas, you need a translations partner you can rely on to be responsive and consistently provide timely, professional results.
Huge technological advances over the last few decades have completely transformed the way in which we shop, look for information and do business. Thanks to the global reach of the Internet, we can now serve customers all over the world.
Since the Internet is the first port of call for anyone looking for information about a brand or product, you can help potential customers reach you faster by ensuring they can access the information they want about your business online, in their native language.
Communicating efficiently and without barriers also enhances your brand and makes your business credible, professional and easy to deal with, no matter where your clients are based or what their native language is. Translating brands is one of our specialities.
Partnering with Translate Fast brings your brand a global presence, making it more accessible to more people. Having your website translated into the languages of your overseas customers will give them a real feel for who you are and what you do, and help make doing business with you easy.
Every client comes to us with a unique conundrum to solve. Sometimes more than one specialism is needed to complete a project; legal and medical, for example, or marketing and telecommunications. We ensure the translator has the expertise to handle the task and delight the client.
In some cases the translator is not just a linguist, but something of an artist too, in order to accurately represent a brand, culture, personality or tone of voice in another language. We understand this at Translate Fast, and it is our mission to give your translations that authentic feel.
Certified Translations
Translate Fast give you a fast certified translation service and free postage. We can get your documents turned around from as little as two hours to the standard 3 working days, depending on the size of the document. We can also scan your certified translation and send it to you free of charge.
Certified translation may be required for the following types of legal document:
Marriage certificates
Birth certificates
Deed polls
Contracts
Medical documentation
Academic certificates
Diplomas
Documents filed in support of visa applications, etc.
Apostille legislation
Some jurisdictions require translations to be ‘apostilled’ before they can be accepted. This process has two stages.
1) We arrange for a notarial certificate to be issued for the translation;
2) We send the translation and notarial certificate to the FCO (Foreign and Commonwealth Office) for apostille legalisation.
Notarised translation
Some jurisdictions require translations of personal documents to be notarised before they can be accepted. In this case, we can arrange for a notarial certificate to be issued with the translation.
Sworn translation
In the UK, a certified translation serves as the equivalent of a sworn translation.
However, if you need to present your translation in a country where sworn translations are required (such as Spain, Germany, Austria, Italy or the Czech Republic), please let us know, and we will be happy to arrange it for you. We have an excellent team of sworn translators (based both in the UK and abroad) who will produce a translation tailored to your requirements.
Please note that in some countries such as Poland, either a sworn translation or a certified translation can be accepted. You should clarify which is required with the relevant authorities, as certified translations are usually less expensive and quicker to produce than sworn translations.
Translator’s statement of truth
Some authorities require a translator’s statement of truth to certify an official translation (in certain UK court proceedings or for official translations to be accepted in Australia). A translator’s statement of truth is a declaration signed by the linguist containing their short biography (education, years of experience and accreditation).
